© Colorburn ibleedgraphite: wow, it comes with a caption
Lani Kai: just in case you didn't know what this was
ibleedgraphite: or, it's fake and they're trying to lend it an extra air of legitimacy
Lani Kai: oh, like someone stole the real one and left a fake one so no one notices right away?
ibleedgraphite: like the fake Louis Vuitton handbags that come with a bunch of extra documentation that the real ones actually don't have
Lani Kai: why do you know so much about handbags?

Lani Kai: no, what happened?
ibleedgraphite: what?? you don't know?! why did you think he wasn't online or answering the phone or anything?
Lani Kai: look, if I knew, I would have said, "yes, I've heard"
ibleedgraphite: his appendix burst, they rushed him to the hospital a couple days ago
ibleedgraphite: it's really bad; there were complications
Lani Kai: what kind of complications?
ibleedgraphite: apparently his pyloric sphincter is a portal to Narnia
ibleedgraphite: JUST KIDDING EVERYONE! I just changed my screen name; I actually stopped using Trypto like two years ago

Lani Kai: I think it's facing the wrong direction
ibleedgraphite: exactly, it represents the rushed decision to invade Iraq after 9/11 based on faulty intelligence and with poorly defined goals
ibleedgraphite: the darkness embodies the murky and morally ambivalent nature of the conflict
